Scrapbooking isn't about scraps of paper and photos. Scrapbooking is about scraps of life - yours and those special to you. ~Rebecca Sower

Hello Ladies:I can't believe it's already October, before you know it the snow will be flying here in Wisconsin. Let's hope not. I have been busy with my personal business and still I have found the time to scrap a few pages.

I want to start out with our challenge over at From Screen 2 Scrap. This month we are inspired with the movie poster PSYCHO. How scary is that for the month of October.Perfect poster for Halloween.

BEWAREA friend on mine gets really crazy over Halloween she decorates her front and back yard.So I was lucky enough to see her Halloween Cemetery.If you get chance this month stop over at http://screen2scrap.blogspot.com/

Now moving on to my challenges over at SOUL SCRAPPERS

My next challenge is a color challenge designed by Marisa.

1). Steel Grey

2). Saffron yellow

3). Certainly Celery

.Here have the color challenge for the month of September.

So here is my take on her challenge:

I had found this special quote from Winnie -the- Pooh.

"If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together...

there is something you must always remember, you

are braver that you believe, stronger that you seem,

and smarter, than you think, but the most important

thing is Even if we're apart...I'll always be with you...."

Winnie-the-Pooh
